Amazing Bride + Amazing Location= pure "deliciousness"!

Amazing Bride + Amazing Location= pure "deliciousness"!

Had the honor of capturing an amazing bride to be, Carolee Crawford this past weekend at Mercer Arboretum & Botanic Gardens.

The day started off with hair done by Marta Dean who owns and operates, "Magic in Motion," and makeup done by my sweet friend Stacy Okonski.  Both do amazing work and were the perfect match for Carolee! Her parents were so helpful and both worked almost as hard as I did through the shoot! Her dad actually carried my ladder and her mom tugged along my camera bag- they were such troopers despite the 100+ degree weather! Not to mention the 1963 cherry red spitfire her dad completely built and restored...both his sweet babies captured in one image- can it get better than that? seriously?

Carolee is a women of pure grace and authenticity! Totally enjoyed my time with her and her fiance, Rick. (Engagement images to come soon!) Looking forward to a great time at the wedding this weekend out at Cypress Chateau!

Karen,


I just love my pictures!! I've always been uncomfortable getting my picture taken, but never have I felt so at ease in front of a camera. You're not only a tremendous photographer...you have a way of making an anxious bride feel like a magazine model that has been taking pictures all of her life. I felt like a princess...thanks to Karen, Marta Dean (Magic in Motion), and Stacy Okonski. Yall are the best!!
